In this debut memoir from the bestselling author of The Bear and The Last Neanderthal, Claire Cameron confronts the rare…
genetic mutation that gave her cancer by investigating an equally rare and terrifying event—a predatory bear attack.When Claire Cameron was nine years old, her father, a professor of Old English, told her he was dying. In the years after he was gone, she found a way to overcome her grief among the rivers and lakes of Algonquin Park, a vast Canadian wilderness area. Around that same time, in 1991, a couple was killed by a black bear in a rare predatory attack in the park. Claire was shocked and, never fully sure of what happened, the attack haunted her. Now older, with children of her own, Cameron was diagnosed with the same kind of deadly skin cancer as her father. Caught in a second wave of grief, she was told by her doctor, "the ideal exposure to UV light is none." No longer able to venture into the wilderness as she once had, with long scars on her back, she became obsessed with the bear attack in Algonquin Park again. How could terror rip through such a beautiful place? Could she separate truth from fiction? She headed north to investigate. Seamlessly weaving together nature writing with true crime investigation in this unflinching account of recovery, How to Survive a Bear Attack is at once an intimate portrait of an extraordinary animal, a bracing chronicle of pain, obsession, and love, and a profoundly moving exploration of how we can understand and survive the wildness that lives inside us.

vécue au présent. D’abord, les gestes d’origine : lire, souligner, prélever, découper, coller. Depuis les premiers journaux, le geste d’écrire est marqué par la pratique du collage et de la citation. Puis, l’attention de l’écrivaine s’élargit aux autres quêtes qui la tiennent en alerte. Les retours de sa mythologie intime. La réflexion sur le fragment. Les échos des livres et de ses lectures. Le rêve, qui accompagne la recherche. L’art poétique et la pensée de la création en acte.
